UK committed to building 300,000 homes every year
Posted on November 4, 2022 |
- The government is still dedicated to a manifesto of building 300,000 homes every year, which was pledged in 2017.
- In 2017, the government set the target of building 300,000 homes a year by the mid-2020s and recommitted to the aim in its 2019 manifesto.
- However, the UK is undergoing a housing crisis, with millions living in sub-standard conditions and long waiting lists for council houses.
- Boris Johnson's efforts to increase building by forcing local councils to accept new housing developments in particular areas had to be stopped after a backlash from his MPs.
